Ghana Gazette

For the benefit of several moms reading the blog - here they are - your sons and daughters as of Sunday, August 19 - what a great group and you probably notice the white effect on the picture - probably caused by not enough "contrast" in our group - this is probably the highest ratio of non-African missionaries to African Missionaires - and we are very happy to have them all. Unique about this group is our first missionary coming from Australia to serve in West Africa - Elder Jarvis who is tucked away on the back row - on the left. We have six Americans - five of which will be going to the new Sierra Leone Mission - four Nigerian sisters, two from South Africa (actually Elder Jele is from Botswana) one from Kenya, one from Tonga, and the rest from Ghana here. It is a nice break to have a smaller number, our last was 34 and our next is going to be 37, so we appreciate the chance to get just a little closer with this group than we can with the larger ones.
